Bespoke staircases in Bournemouth

Bespoke Staircases in Bournemouth rewards patience at the setting-out stage. The housing here is largely Purbeck stone cottages, Victorian resort villas and thatched inland villages, and that shapes what will actually fit. Locally you are contending with exposed Channel coast with intense salt and UV load, so rapid finish failure and fixings corrosion within a few seasons on seafront stock is the fault we are called out to. This is really a job about setting out so the rise and going work on the day, not just on paper.

The survey happens before manufacture, which is why our units fit without packing or trimming. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.

One local point to factor in: Jurassic Coast properties need stainless fixings as standard, not an upgrade.

What we cover locally

Survey visits in Bournemouth are usually booked within a week. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation to proceed.

Rise, going and headroom in Bournemouth

Three numbers decide whether a staircase is comfortable or awkward, and they are the first things we measure.

Rise

Maximum 220mm per step for a private stair under Part K. Consistent to within 5mm across the whole flight, because the foot notices what the eye does not.

Going

Minimum 220mm. Rise and going together must satisfy the pitch rule, which is why a flight cannot simply be shortened to fit a smaller opening.

Headroom

2m measured vertically from the pitch line. This is the constraint that most often forces a winder instead of a straight flight.

What clients tell us

Feedback collected directly from completed projects. Full written references are available on request before you commit.

“The headroom was tight and they redesigned the winder rather than telling us it could not be done.”

Verified client, Dorset

“Dry-assembled in the workshop first, so installation day was genuinely uneventful.”

Verified client, Dorset

“No squeaks at all a year on, which was the whole reason we replaced the old one.”

Bournemouth questions

What if the opening is out of square?

Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.

Can you match an existing profile?

Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.

What guarantee do you provide?

Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.

How do you handle glazing?

Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.

Can you price from drawings?

Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
